Computer Vision News - January 2022

24 AI Spotlight News Computer Vision News has found great new stories, written somewhere else by somebody else. We share them with you, adding a short comment. Enjoy! TOP 10 Robotic and Artificial Intelligence Stories of 202 1 Yes, it’s that time of the year when media dig into the past year to remind their top stories. We also do it this month on page 28. We liked very much this collection of top robot stories of 2021 by designboom. com and we think you will like them too. The most impressive ones? Probably the self-driving bike, the world’s first ever robot remote tattoo (nicknamed ‘The Impossible Tattoo’, performed through T-Mobile 5G on Dutch actress Stijn Fransen - watch the video above) and Grace, the robot nurse ‘built to care’, who lends a caring hand for the elderly and those isolated with COVID-19. Read More The ‘Game of Trawls’: Smart Fishing Nets Could Save Millions of Sea Creatures A nice marine tech seeking to replace the bottom trawl , a large and heavy net - often the size of a few football pitches - which is dragged along the seafloor, capturing everything it encounters. Besides some tasty fish that we finally eat, 20 million tons of fish - about a quarter of global marine catches - are discarded each year and not made any use of, sealing the bitter end of too many marine species. French oceanographic institution Ifremer is testing smart trawls that - with the help of AI and Computer Vision - sort fish on the bottom, catching only the selected species the fishermen want. Watch the Video . The Last Major Obstacle to Cracking the Code on Self-Driving Car s Companies developing autonomous driving solutions are making different bets: some (like Tesla ) are betting on the minimalist approach, using just visual data from onboard cameras ; others (like MobilEye ) plan to develop their own full self-driving car software by using every sensor available : cameras, radar, and LiDAR. Most are in between. If this is true, what’s missing for MobilEye to be full ready? Apparently, a detailed map of every road a car might ever encounter, that means every single road on Earth. In the meantime, watch the lovely video with the launch of their robotaxi fleet in Paris! Read More
